Macro Sectors of Innovative Applications for Robotics
With OMNIHEAD the robot can autonomously, within its reach space:
All phases of robot interfacing with cell devices (press-brake, centering device, flipper, loading and unloading device, optical thickness gauge, gripper changing and tooling) are managed by the powerful OLIB library, the result of decades of innovation and testing:
The OMNIFLIPPER is a further step forward in simplifying the sheet metal flipping maneuvers both for the simulator and for the operator. Quick, flexible, and fast flipping of the piece without ever having encumbrances either for depositing or for picking up the piece.
The OMNIBOA cable bundle manager eliminates the inconvenience of entangling robot cables in masks and sheets, thus avoiding damaging or tearing the cables themselves.
This system also resolves most of the uncertainty and problems of simulating the cable bundle in the simulator.
Micro-joints in laser cutting are made to avoid losing small pieces or to prevent pieces from getting stuck under each other during the material transport phase outside the cutting area.
The robotics OMNIRAYCUT system autonomously manages the micro-joined sheets:

In the loading and unloading of panel benders or other operating machines, a robot is required that is capable of autonomously performing the following operations:
For many years, the robotic system OMNIHEAD has proven itself capable and reliable in performing the above operations.
For the total and complete operation of the robotics loading and unloading management system, we recommend installing:

Application example:
In large milling machines, with beds 20 meters long and 5 meters wide, using several hundred tools (typically over 400 tools) of important shapes and weights, the operations of calibrating the position of the tool in the tool rack are very delicate. It is necessary to position yourself in Cartesian and Euclidean coordinates under the tenth of a millimetre, otherwise the machine spindle will be damaged.
With our algorithms, tested for years of operation at client plants, it is possible to perform the calibration of the deposit and pickup point in a handful of seconds. Furthermore, the management of the movement between the warehouse and the machine spindle is made simple and fast.
For better operation of the robotics system for managing the loading and unloading of tool warehouses and machine spindles, we suggest inserting:
Every job commissioned by our clients is covered by company confidentiality, in compliance with current regulations.

Spot welding is a consolidated technology that has been used for decades, on which almost everything has already been said.
It is now necessary to introduce a technological evolution that makes the welding system more flexible and capable of making autonomous decisions.
Our system allows, in addition to normal spot welding, the introduction of autonomy of choice and decision-making for processing.
Past and new technologies are combined:

Standard palletizing requires a precise dimensional definition of the pieces to be palletized and above all a pre-ordered palletizing recipe depending on the elements to be palletized. With OMNIHEAD we have introduced a revolutionary system for which given a type of element to be palletized (for example: boxes of different shape and/or size), the robot is able to identify autonomously what is the best totally self-managed processing strategy without the need to prepare in advance a palletizing recipe. It is therefore possible to:
Given that all robot movement paths are decided online by the calculation algorithm, we suggest equipping the plant with:

The food environment presents sectors that are burdensome for humans, for example washing containers with soda at high temperatures. Handling drums with robots is now a necessity in terms of safety and productivity. The robot handles containers of various shapes and sizes, introducing drums into washing equipment, thereby reducing working times and human resource employment to a minimum. In the washing chain, the robot identifies and eliminates damaged or tampered with drums, eliminates any liquid residues still present in the drums, without stopping the production line with the relative operator call, and manages production anomalies autonomously.
In summary:
We have worked on natural stone processing plants, where the robot autonomously selects stones with a shape and size suitable for being processed for transformation into artifacts. The same method can also be used on artificial stone slabs to identify how to obtain predefined shapes. The system also allows for the selection of processed stones based on various shapes and sizes, for palletizing.
In summary
We make our experience available in the field of handling glass sheets, as well as special glass shapes, from small to large dimensions and weight. Our system allows for both precise and fast processing when inserting glass into processing machines and for palletizing glass after processing.
In summary
Long-standing experience in developing software for robotics deburring plants for foundary cast iron and aluminum objects. Starting from the 3D design, we have integrated analysis and tracking systems for the surfaces to be deburred into existing CAD/CAM systems, in collaboration with the relevant CAD/CAM parent companies, adapting the working speed and pressure based on the size of the scrap to be removed.
